Today on the Book More Show we're talking with Shane Melanson from Alberta Canada. Shane helps people invest in commercial real estate across the US and Canada, and his book, 'Club Syndication' helps people find the right deals and raise capital.

We had a great conversation about how he dialed in the target market for his book, and now it's complete, we focused on some of the best ways he can get in front of the people he can best help.

Shane has a great opportunity to work with a 'complementary, non competing' group of investors, and the book is proving to be the perfect door opener to people and conversations that were previously difficult to access.

We dive deep into looking at various ways he can leverage his book that brings value to everyone and puts him in front of the right people at the right time.

This is a great example of why your book is a 'charge neutral' way of starting a conversation with people who get pitched all the time, and why, when you start by give something of value (to potential clients or peers), it sets an expectation of value creation, rather than starting by asking for something.

I really enjoyed catching up with Shane & it's exciting to hear how he's getting more people to raise their hand and there are lots of examples you can use to promote your business.
